what happens is this.... it is ok to shoot someone who is assaulting you but if you assault someone or rob someone using a firearm to do so... you have an automatic increase in your sentance....
pretty much... open season on the bad guys. The bad guys then operate under the premise that it is best not to use a firearm and that it is best not to confront anyone because.... anyone might have a gun and they have free reign to shoot.
The occasional rabid dog of a human will still exist but.... overall.... more high quality, inexpensive firearms like the Makarov in the hands of normal citizens will reduce crime.
